Easyjet cuts flights to try to manage airport disruption

Chief Executive Johan Lundgren said the airline was sorry it had not delivered the service customers had come to expect.

Low-cost airline easyJet said on Monday it was cutting more flights in the busy summer period to help manage problems including shortages of ground staff and flight caps at London Gatwick and Amsterdam.

The British carrier said it now expected its capacity to be around 87% of 2019 levels in the quarter to end-June, and around 90% in the fourth quarter to end-September, adding that there would be a cost impact from the disruption.
